Dallas Gaza 5K
May 16 | 8am -12 pm
Gaza needs us—and we need each other
Join UNRWA USA for a morning 5K walk/run, breakfast, coffee, fundraising prizes, and more.
Since 2012, our Gaza 5K has been more than just a walk/run—it’s an UNRWA USA tradition.
This annual event has united communities across the US in solidarity to fund mental health counseling and trauma support for Palestine refugee children. More than a race, it’s a fun way to take action, experience Palestinian culture, and show Palestine refugees that Americans care.
You don’t have to run. Walk, cheer, or fundraise (the most important part) to support life-saving UNRWA services—but everyone must register.
